Deputy

Deputy is a workforce management platform designed for businesses that schedule hourly or shift-based employees, such as those in retail, hospitality, healthcare, and food service. The software provides tools for employee scheduling, allowing managers to build rosters, forecast labor needs based on sales or demand data, and adjust staffing levels accordingly. It includes time and attendance tracking through digital timesheets and clock-in/clock-out functionality, often using photo verification or geolocation to confirm accurate records. The platform also handles tasks like leave management, shift swapping, and communication between staff and managers through a mobile app. Deputy integrates with payroll and point-of-sale systems to streamline compliance with labor laws and reduce administrative work associated with managing a distributed or shift-based workforce.
